Jensen loves his sippy cup & pears!

Here are a few short videos of Jensen. He has recently learned how to drink from his sippy cup - He's still learning how to tip it up to make the water actually come out. He gets so excited when he gets water! He also enjoys eating his pears.....he can't get them in his mouth quick enough!

Jensen is 8 months old!

Hard to believe Jensen is 8 months old....I feel like I say that every month, but it's just amazing how quickly time has gone by! And he is definitely Mr. Personality!
We're starting to see the beginning signs of crawling....He pushes up with his arms and scooches backwards, but we haven't seen much action with the knees yet. And as you can probably guess, eating continues to be one of his favorite activities of the day.....Hmmmm, sound like anyone else you know??? I believe Joe had a shirt when he was a baby that said "EAT"....I think that would be quite appropriate for Jensen too! He loves to feed himself so we've started giving him peas, lentils, small pieces of cheese, bread and bananas, etc. that he can pick up and put in his mouth.
Joe's football season is over and it's been fun to have him around a little more the past few weeks to share in the fun of feeding, bathing, walks, etc. Just can't get enough of Jensen's little smile - We feel so blessed everday!


Fun at school!

We are so lucky that we've found such a great school for Jensen! We all love it there so much!! The teachers are so wonderful to him and he's made some good friends - Here he is with his little buddy that is just 2 weeks younger!
Now that Joe is done with football, we've enjoyed going together to pick up Jensen. During football season, Joe always had the hard job or dropping him off in the morning and I had the fun job of walking in to see his smiling face to pick him up in the afternoon. Now we either go together or Joe will go by himself to get him! We're so glad we've found such an amazing place for him to hang out a few days a week:)

An early visit with Santa!

Jensen promised Santa he had been a good boy when he met him for the first time on Saturday! We were a little nervous about how Jensen might react to the big man in a red suit with a white beard....but he LOVED him and had the biggest smile on his face the entire time! He must have a lot of toys on his Christmas list because he was definitely trying to win Santa over with that smile:) It was the cutest thing ever!!

Beautiful Fall Weekend

What an absolutely beautiful fall day! We did some house chores, raked the leaves in the backyard as Jensen enjoyed his swing, took a walk over to the school to let Bailey run, watched some football and just enjoyed the perfect fall day together! We were able to snap some great pictures of Jensen....Here are just a few of my favorites!






Trip to Auburn

We celebrated at Lori & Brannon's shower in Auburn on Saturday! Jensen enjoyed his first tailgate and playing with all the other kids.

Giggles & Sounds

What a little personality Jensen is developing! Here is what's going on with him developmentally - In the past week or so, he's started saying "da da da da"....Not quite associating it with his daddy yet, but so fun to hear him say it! We're working on the ma ma ma ma:) He loves sitting on the couch & bed and playing with the remote controls. He has so much fun and often lets out a little shrill of excitement! He has learned to feed himself puffs and small pieces of banana. Ahhhh, the everday things in his life that make us smile and melt our hearts!!

Jensen's first Halloween

Jensen was a dinosaur for his first Halloween! We had a very rainy Halloween so our night consisted of dressing the kids in their costumes and sitting them on the couch for a photo session. Jensen & Elle weren't sure what to think of us crazy adults who were making quite a production in attempts to get some great photos! Despite the weather, we had a great Halloween!
